Kiku, best known for acting in popular TV show “Comedy Nights With Kapil”, was sent to 14 days judicial custody on Wednesday by a court in Haryana’s Kaithal town, hours after his arrest here. He was released on a surety bond of Rs.1 lakh by the Kaithal court later.
However, he was arrested again by Haryana Police, this time from Fatehabad district (near Hisar), for the same offence. He is likely to be presented before a Fatehabad court on Thursday.
Kiku was accused by sect follower Uday Singh of dressing up like Gurmeet Ram Rahim and mimicking the self-proclaimed godman in the show “Jashn-E-Ummeed”.
